Your Comfort Is Our Priority: Expert Furnace Service You Can Trust

When it is cold in Des Moines, having a working furnace makes all the difference. Winters here are long, and once the heat goes out, a house can cool down fast. That puts stress on pipes, walls, and the people living inside.
Schaal Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling provides furnace service for Des Moines homeowners who want dependable heat and clear answers. We handle repairs, seasonal maintenance, and furnace replacement, all with a focus on safety and reliability during Iowa winters.
Rapid Response Furnace Service When the Heat Fails
Losing heat during a cold snap is not something most homeowners can wait on. Even a short outage can make a home uncomfortable or unsafe.
Our furnace servicing team responds quickly when the heat fails. Technicians arrive with the parts and tools needed to diagnose the issue and restore heat whenever possible on the first visit.
Common furnace problems we see include:
- No heat or cold air coming from vents
- Pilot light or ignition problems
- Unusual noises like grinding or banging
- Short cycling that causes the system to turn on and off repeatedly
- Safety concerns related to carbon monoxide
When you search for furnace servicing near me, you need someone local who understands how urgent the situation can be. Our Des Moines team is familiar with the systems used in Central Iowa homes and works to get heat back safely and efficiently.
The Most Important Furnace Service: Seasonal Tune-Ups
Annual furnace servicing matters here because Iowa winters don’t give furnaces much of a break. Once the season starts, systems often run every day for months. That steady use wears things down quietly.
What we see most often is not a sudden failure. It’s a furnace that has been slowly drifting out of shape. Airflow drops a bit. Dust builds up. Burners get dirty. Safety parts stop reacting as cleanly as they should. Then the system finally gives up on the coldest night of the year.
A seasonal tune-up helps catch those issues before they stack up. It keeps the furnace running the way it was meant to and lowers the chance of needing emergency service when temperatures are at their worst.
Investing in the Future: High-Efficiency Furnace Replacement
Replacement usually comes up after years of repairs, not after one bad day. Older furnaces can still run, but they often work harder than they should and cost more to keep going, especially during long Iowa winters.
Most homeowners aren’t looking for extra features. They want steady heat, reasonable energy bills, and fewer service calls. That’s usually when replacement makes sense.
Sizing matters more than brand or horsepower. A furnace that is too big turns on and off too often. One that is too small never quite catches up. We size systems based on the home, so the furnace runs evenly and lasts longer.
Schaal Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling installs modern high-efficiency furnaces designed to handle Central Iowa winters without unnecessary strain.
